The 7th from the Moon in Karkataka

Marriage is read from the 7th house, which in a Moon-sign reading is the 7th sign from the Moon. For Karkataka that is Makara, ruled by Shani (Saturn). Shukra (Venus) remains the karaka of marriage, read alongside the 7th lord.

Karkataka is water, ruled by Chandra (the Moon) itself: caring, attached to home and family, quick to feel. Makara is earth, practical, patient, mindful of duty. The partner suggested by this axis is responsible, reserved at first, mature in manner, someone who shows affection through reliability. The pair mirrors itself in the exaltation table too. Guru is exalted in Karkataka, debilitated in Makara, while Kuja is debilitated in Karkataka, exalted in Makara. A marriage here tends to join feeling with structure, each partner supplying what the other's sign lacks.

When marriage comes

The dasha or antardasha of Shani, as 7th lord, can bring marriage for a Karkataka Moon. Shani also rules the 8th from this Moon, so its periods are read with care. Shukra's periods count, as do those of a graha placed in Makara.

Guru (Jupiter) helps when it transits Karkataka or Makara, or passes through Kanya or Vrishabha, from where it aspects Makara. Shani's transit through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from this Moon (Mithuna, Karkataka, Simha) is the period called sade sati. It asks for patience with timing.

A date comes from the full birth chart, with the lagna, the dashas and the transits read together.

The nakshatras of Karkataka

Punarvasu (Tamil Punarpoosam), pada 4 only, is ruled by Guru, adding a hopeful tone. Pushya (Tamil Poosam, Telugu Pushyami), all four padas, is ruled by Shani, the 7th lord here. It is a nourishing, steady star. Ashlesha (Tamil Ayilyam), all four padas, is ruled by Budha (Mercury). It brings a perceptive, guarded mind to the question.

Manglik, in plain words

Kuja dosha is noted for Kuja in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th, counted from the lagna, the Moon and Shukra. From a Karkataka Moon these are Karkataka, Simha, Tula, Makara, Kumbha and Mithuna. Kuja is debilitated in Karkataka, the 1st, while it is exalted in Makara, the 7th. For a Karkataka lagna the texts call Kuja a yogakaraka, the lord of both the 5th and the 10th.

It asks for care in matching. Later texts list many exceptions, two charts that both carry it are commonly matched, and it is weighed in the whole chart. See how matching works.
